When you need a vegetable side without turning on the oven, this recipe keeps things wonderfully simple. A short air-fryer cook gives the Brussels sprouts browned edges, and the balsamic-and-bacon finish adds plenty of flavor without requiring a complicated sauce.

The Story Behind This Dish

A little note from the kitchen.

These Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts have a savory, lightly tangy flavor that makes a simple vegetable side feel a little more special. Balsamic vinegar brightens each bite, while crumbled bacon adds a rich finishing touch.

The halved Brussels sprouts become tender inside with pleasantly crisp edges after cooking in the air fryer. Avocado oil helps them brown, and the salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and bacon create a balanced mix of flavors and textures.

This quick side dish is useful for busy weeknight dinners, relaxed weekend meals, or anytime you need an easy vegetable to serve alongside the family’s main course.

Chef's Note

Halve the Brussels sprouts as evenly as possible so the pieces cook at a similar rate.

Use a bowl large enough to turn the sprouts comfortably without spilling the oil and seasonings.

Add the balsamic vinegar while the sprouts are still hot so it coats them easily.

Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces so every serving receives some of the savory topping.

Serve the sprouts soon after finishing them to enjoy their crispest texture.

Popular Asked Questions

Q:

Why are the Brussels sprouts shaken halfway through cooking?

A:
Shaking the basket moves the sprouts into new positions, helping them cook and brown more evenly during the second 5-minute period.
Q:

How should the Brussels sprouts look when finished?

A:
They should be tender enough to eat comfortably, with browned or lightly crisp edges from the air fryer.
Q:

Should the balsamic vinegar go into the air fryer?

A:
No. The recipe adds the balsamic vinegar after cooking, once the Brussels sprouts have been transferred to a serving dish.
Q:

Can the bacon be added before air-frying?

A:
For this method, keep the bacon aside and sprinkle it over the Brussels sprouts after they have been coated with balsamic vinegar.
